The First Descendant Is Getting A Photo Mode

The First Descendant community has been pretty vocal thus far. They’ve made their feelings known about a number of issues, including the difficulty of unlocking certain characters, the game’s “inflated” seasonal challenges, and the uselessness of its cosmetic paints.

“I didn’t expect it to be high, but I didn’t expect it to be 57 points either.”

While many of the community’s cries have been regarding negative issues around the game, during a recent Q&A, they gathered in force to request a photo mode for the free-to-play title, seemingly receiving some good news.

During a Q&A session in the game’s official Discord server, multiple players asked the team if they had plans for a photo mode, with some going as far as saying it’s what they need “most, above all.”

The photo mode questions were met with a mostly positive answer from The First Descendant’s development team, with them sharing, “We’ve started discussions about Photo Mode! However, the update timing is still undecided.”

As part of the Q&A, the team revealed it is working on a bunch of new content, including progression transfers, a range of changes to skins, including the ability to sell them, and a bunch of different balance changes, which all seem to be being more highly-prioritized than the photo mode, but its confirmation is at least good news.

With it now confirmed for The First Descendant, all that’s left is for me to be a little concerned with how it will be used. The game’s outfits are getting more revealing, and there have been calls from players for jiggle physics, which warranted a response from the same Q&A session, but I’m just going to assume people want to snap The First Descendant’s pretty landscapes. Right?

The First Descendant is a next-generation third-person co-op action RPG looter shooter featuring high-quality graphics created in Unreal Engine 5.

Players become a Descendant whose mission is to combat alien invaders – The Vulgus who crossed dimensions over 100 years ago and brought with them the devastating Colossi and destruction – for the survival of humanity and to protect Albion and the continent of Ingris. Players will encounter spectacular stories of forces fighting over the Iron Heart as they grow stronger through various missions and raids.

Encounter features that make The First Descendant’s gameplay unique: a variety of characters with unique concepts and combat styles, massive boss battles with up to four player co-op, free movement and coordinated action with grappling hooks, a variety of weapons and compelling customization options.
